Jennifer, our legal secretary, and Marty, our boss (ALC),
received a big SURPRIZE for their March birthdays. We pulled them from working stations for an
afternoon snack and sing.
Elder Homer, of the Area Presidency, enjoys the festivities
as he leans on the door frame. He talks
with Sister Blackwell while Elder McAllister and Anna stand at the side.
As the group sings in Cantonese and English note the change
from sweet birthday cake: bread
varieties, veggie tray, crackers and dip, and fruit tray (Yes, I prepared the
fruit). This may be due to my
influence. The entire OGC office now
embraces more than sweets for celebrations.
Paul and Susan Hansen treated us to a traditional dumpling
dinner last Friday. Paul is the director
of temporal affairs and our Branch President.
Note the bamboo baskets of dumplings and the vegetable rice. Everything tasted delicious!
Sister Ash, Sister Latimer and I visited the Jade Market
again. Sandra and her brother were
thrilled to see us. She continues to
offer missionaries special service and the lowest prices imaginable. We’ve created a unique bond and shed tears as
we embraced upon departure. She invited me to return to
Hong Kong again. I used this opportunity to give her a Book of
Mormon. She warmly received the gift and the
accompanying DVD, Meet the Mormons. I
encouraged her to learn more about who we are and what we believe.
These arches, decorated in pink paper roses, line the way to one ferry station on the island.
The “pink” promenade is another sign of Chinese New Year
Décor.
The Latimers joined us for a lovely evening on Lee Tong
Road, famous for the splendid New Year décor.
The large, delightful butterflies compliment the traditional
pink blossoms.
The lanterns glow at dusk.
We enjoy visiting this lovely area.
